I asked my parents to take me bowling for a few reasons.

1. I want to become a better bowler.
2. It was really hot outside.
3. I want to find the coolest bowling alley in LA.

Mommy looked up bowling alleys on Yelp. She found Pinz there and it had some good reviews, plus she wouldn’t have to drive that far to get there. Here is that review. We thought it was cool that movies had been made there and some movie stars bowl there sometimes.

(Spoiler: I didn’t see any that day.)

The area was nice that the bowling alley was in. Mom gets her nails done nearby so she knew how to get there. We all liked that there was a parking lot because parking in LA sucks most of the time. This is a big plus for Pinz.

The inside was nice and clean, the lanes were smooth. You can order food from your lane, and we ordered french fries and drinks. And I liked them. Mom, Dad and me bowled two games. I got a strike on the second game, so I think my bowling improved. Which was one of my reasons for wanting to go bowling.

They had an arcade, and since I’m into video games and like to win stuff from claw machines, we stopped in there. We epic failed at the claw machines– which are totally rigged. (I’ve won from those machines before, so that’s how I know). I wish that once you picked up the toy or giant jawbreaker candy they wouldn’t fall out when the claw banged the top. Rigged.

Sam’s Star Rating:

I think Pinz is worth visiting, and I can’t wait to go again! But I do think it’s not the very best that LA can offer me so I can’t give it five stars.
